Fishing reel body

The handle for a fishing rod according to the present invention can improve the sense of fit of the fingers with respect to a reel-attaching portion when said portion is taken hold of. The handle comprises a reel-depositing surface of the reel-attaching portion expanded in both right and left directions to form a bulgy portion which makes the width of said surface larger than that of a reel-foot. In accordance with the reel-depositing surface, the finger-placing surface of the reel-attaching portion is formed to have a large circular surface area which fits well with the dispositions and the bending angle of the fingers. This configulation is very advantageous in giving an improved sense of fit of the fingers with respect to the finger-placing surface of the reel-attaching portion and also a comfortable and safe gripping performance. Further, as the reel-attaching portion is formed thin enough for the lower surface of the outer periphery of the fishing rod to be exposed on the lower portion thereof, a firm and stable gripping performance can be obtained; and further the vibration of the rod can be sensed directly, so a user doesn't miss any chance to operate his rod and reel when fish hit and can have a better fishing result.

Handle for a fishing rod

A backlash preventing device for a fishing reel which comprises a spool, a non-magnetic component provided with said spool, magnets for applying magnetic fluxes of a predetermined strength to said non-magnetic component for generating a braking torque at the initiation of the reel usage; there being an adjustor for controlling the strength of the magnetic flux to be exerted. A clutch mechanism is provided for the spool and with there being a timing control element for maintaining said braking force in spool rotational restraining condition for a period determined adequate to prevent backlashing.
